I FROM SUMMER TO WINTER
WITH TWO DAY'S TIME
The uncertainty of Indiana weather
was demonstrated well this week as
the warm sunshine of Sunday turned
into a brisk snow on Wednesday
morning, with a low temperature.
The weather conditions for the past
two months has been a great hind-rance
to the farmers in getting out
their crops. The rains and cool at-mosphere
has made such work in ad-visable.
There will not be any April
corn planting this year, and many of
the boys have not sowed their oats
yet. The fields which have been sowed
look fine and the wheat is coming a-long
splendidly. All indications point
to a late crop this year.

0. A, McFann Dies at But-lerville
Friday Afternoon
Orman A. McFann, age ' 79 years,
well and favorably known here, died
Friday afternoon at 3 o clock at his
home at Butlerville, Ind. He had been
ill several weeks of organic heart
trouble. The body was brought to
Kokomo where the funeral services
were held Monday afternoon, follow-ed
by burial in Crown Point cemetery.
Mr. McFann was the fourth of nine
children of Kimber and Sarah McFann
and all have preceded him in death ex-cept
a brother, William and a sister,
Mrs. J. 0. Wilson of Kokomo. Sev-eral
nieces and nephews survive.
Mr. McFann made his home for a
number of years with Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Matchette east of town and has
a wide acquaintance in this commun-ity.
He will be recalled for his ec-centricity,
having a hobby of carry-ing
a flipper with which he was an ex-pert
shot. He was resident of this
community and Kokomo all his life
until six years ago when he removed
to Butlerville.

deceased.
MUCH CONFUSION ON
DELINQUENT TAXES
Harry Miesse, Secretary of Taxpay-ers'
Association, Calls Attention
To New Laws.
LAW ADDS INTEREST AND
PENALTY TO DELINQUENT
Other Provisions of Law Pointed Out
In Understandable Manner For
Taxpayers' Information.
" Much confusion exists", says a
statement made by Harry Miesee,
secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers'
Association, " relative to Indiana tax-es
that have gone delinquent or which
' may become delinquent if no part is
paid on or before the first Monday in
May. In order to clarify the situation
we are calling attention to the fact
' that an act of the special session of
the Indiana General Assembly, last
summer, must be read in connection
with an act of the recent regular ses-sion,
as each concerns taxation and is
of the utmost importance to the peop-le
of Indiana."
The law approved at the special
session, Mr. Miesse points out, pro-vided
that the taxes for 1931, payable
ordinarily in 1932, and the taxes for
each year thereafter, would become
payable at the office of the various
county treasurers on or before the
first Monday in May and the first
Monday in November of each succeed-ing
year. This law says: " If any in-stallment
of taxes shall not be paid
when the same shall be due such in-stallment
shall be returned delinquent,
and a penalty of 3 per cent on the a-mount
of such installment shall be
added thereto. In addition to the
; penalty of : 3 per cent herein provided,
I interest at the rate of 8 per cent ari-l
num on the amount of such install-
; menc from the date of such delinquen-
, cy to the time of payment, shall be
cherged and paid or collected with
' such delinquent installment and pen-alty
in the matter nrovided for the
collection oi delinquent taxes; pro --
vided anylo at any tmie,
; pay any r o
ents, the first v hich shall

; mount of such installment, and the
I second payment shall be the entire

I FROM SUMMER TO WINTER
WITH TWO DAY'S TIME
The uncertainty of Indiana weather
was demonstrated well this week as
the warm sunshine of Sunday turned
into a brisk snow on Wednesday
morning, with a low temperature.
The weather conditions for the past
two months has been a great hind-rance
to the farmers in getting out
their crops. The rains and cool at-mosphere
has made such work in ad-visable.
There will not be any April
corn planting this year, and many of
the boys have not sowed their oats
yet. The fields which have been sowed
look fine and the wheat is coming a-long
splendidly. All indications point
to a late crop this year.

0. A, McFann Dies at But-lerville
Friday Afternoon
Orman A. McFann, age ' 79 years,
well and favorably known here, died
Friday afternoon at 3 o clock at his
home at Butlerville, Ind. He had been
ill several weeks of organic heart
trouble. The body was brought to
Kokomo where the funeral services
were held Monday afternoon, follow-ed
by burial in Crown Point cemetery.
Mr. McFann was the fourth of nine
children of Kimber and Sarah McFann
and all have preceded him in death ex-cept
a brother, William and a sister,
Mrs. J. 0. Wilson of Kokomo. Sev-eral
nieces and nephews survive.
Mr. McFann made his home for a
number of years with Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Matchette east of town and has
a wide acquaintance in this commun-ity.
He will be recalled for his ec-centricity,
having a hobby of carry-ing
a flipper with which he was an ex-pert
shot. He was resident of this
community and Kokomo all his life
until six years ago when he removed
to Butlerville.

MUCH CONFUSION ON
DELINQUENT TAXES
Harry Miesse, Secretary of Taxpay-ers'
Association, Calls Attention
To New Laws.
LAW ADDS INTEREST AND
PENALTY TO DELINQUENT
Other Provisions of Law Pointed Out
In Understandable Manner For
Taxpayers' Information.
" Much confusion exists", says a
statement made by Harry Miesee,
secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers'
Association, " relative to Indiana tax-es
that have gone delinquent or which
' may become delinquent if no part is
paid on or before the first Monday in
May. In order to clarify the situation
we are calling attention to the fact
' that an act of the special session of
the Indiana General Assembly, last
summer, must be read in connection
with an act of the recent regular ses-sion,
as each concerns taxation and is
of the utmost importance to the peop-le
of Indiana."
The law approved at the special
session, Mr. Miesse points out, pro-vided
that the taxes for 1931, payable
ordinarily in 1932, and the taxes for
each year thereafter, would become
payable at the office of the various
county treasurers on or before the
first Monday in May and the first
Monday in November of each succeed-ing
year. This law says: " If any in-stallment
of taxes shall not be paid
when the same shall be due such in-stallment
shall be returned delinquent,
and a penalty of 3 per cent on the a-mount
of such installment shall be
added thereto. In addition to the
; penalty of : 3 per cent herein provided,
I interest at the rate of 8 per cent ari-l
num on the amount of such install-
; menc from the date of such delinquen-
, cy to the time of payment, shall be
cherged and paid or collected with
' such delinquent installment and pen-alty
in the matter nrovided for the
collection oi delinquent taxes; pro --
vided anylo at any tmie,

ents, the first v hich shall
